I would have to say that being a parent DOES alter your perceptions and possibly/hopefully your understanding of many things. Being a parent SHOULD make you smarter about certain things that life holds but 'you can lead a horse to water'...
I would NOT go as far as to say it makes you smarter. As Analog pointed out, there are some stupid bastards cranking out children like Pez who aren't going to be nominated for the Nobel Prize anytime soon.
My friend used to say, "It's pretty damn stupid that you have to have a license to fish but ANYONE can have a kid". It was his favorite saying. Seems to fit here.
